A massive engineering operation is underway to shift over one hundred thousand tonnes of soil that's threatening to engulf one of the busiest rail lines in our region.

One of the tracks on the line linking Sheffield with London is closed at Unstone just north of Chesterfield because it's too unstable to use. It's believed recent heavy rain is to blame for the landslip. Martin Fisher has been to see the damage.

There are delays of up to 50 minutes on East Coast services between Kings Cross and Leeds due to overhead line problems at South Elmsall, with no estimate of when a normal service will resume. This is also affecting Northern Rail service.

Residents opposed to the route of HS2 in West Yorkshire have been lobbying councillors in Leeds today. They're from the 'So What' action group representing home owners in Swillington, Oulton and Woodlesford. They want the route of the line moved because they fear their homes will be blighted.
